Description

We are delighted to welcome Bronwen Percival, cheese buyer for Neal's Yard Dairy and co-founder of MicrobialFoods.org, and Francis Percival, award-winning food and wine writer and co-convenor of The London Gastronomy Seminars who will be delivering our summer lecture based on their book Reinventing the Wheel: Milk, Microbes, and the Fight for Real Cheese, which reveals the surprising truths and science behind the dairy industry.

The lecture will be followed by a wine and cheese reception, during which you can hear quickfire soapbox science talks by UCL academics and The Eden Project; and make your own cheese with artist and materials specialist Ellie Doney.

Science Soapbox speakers include:

• Dr Joanne Santini, UCL Structural and Molecular Biology
• Prof Mark Thomas, UCL Genetics, Evolution and Environment
• Dr Rachel Warmington, Plant Pathologist, Eden Project
• Dr Mike Sulu, UCL Engineering
• Dr Mike Maunder, Eden Project

Supported by the UCL Grand Challenge of Transformative Technology.
